  "account": "Tottenham have suffered another setback to their attack after Mathys Tel was sent off early in their game against Leeds. The Frenchman was caught in the ankle by Leeds' Jayden Bogle, who dragged him down with a stamp. VAR took more than four minutes to decide whether the challenge warranted a red card but ultimately left Bogle unpenalised. Referee John Brooks, who initially didn't even caution Bogle, had to follow the on-field decision confirmed by VAR. The Premier League Match Centre confirmed the decision: \"The referee’s call of no red card to Bogle for the challenge on Tel was checked and confirmed by VAR.\"\n\nSpurs manager Roberto De Zerbi expressed frustration with the outcome, which comes at a time when the team's attacking options are already depleted by injury. Tel had to be replaced by Dominic Solanke in the 43rd minute. The Swede was initially doubtful for the match following a red card in the previous weekend's game against Crystal Palace. With Savio, Mudryk, Simons and Odobert also out, Tel's absence will further weaken Tottenham's attacking lineup. Tel had recently impressed with a solo goal against Chelsea, which secured a 2-0 victory for the club.",
  "summary": "VAR spent over four minutes reviewing a possible red card offence when Jayden Bogle stamped on Tel’s ankle, but the challenge - which forced the Frenchman off - ultimately went unpunished",
